OUR MISSION

The National Indian Monument and Institute (NIMI) is the parent company of the Greater Tulsa Indian Art Festival, the American Indian Theatre Company of Oklahoma, and the American Indian Arts Association.

NIMI is an national non-profit organization actively promoting and creating Native related programsand preserving those cultures through the arts and education. Our mission is to honor, preserve, sustain, and celebrate American Indian cultures. To do so, we have plans to build an intertribal cultural center in Tulsa.

To further this, we are currently raising money to build an American Indian Cultural Center and Museum Complex. The intention of the Center is to provide a facility of cultural exchange--languages, theatre, arts, cuisine, history, and most importantly, friendship.
